I checked history. I didn’t see any reference to romance in chinese literature except sam pek eng tay. Romance seems to be a western thingy. Because white guys get rich and chinese love wealth, we mimic what ever white guys are doing, including this nonsense called love.
When chinese controlled 33% of world GDP my ancestors think everyone else is barbarian. Now chinese control 11% GDP and will exceed US GDP by 2017. Soon romance will be a thing of a past too.
Perhaps it’ll be the white guys that mimic us and start having tons of concubines. Hei whichever work right?
